Some people are just passersby

After learning that President Reagan was assassinated because of this movie, I came to watch it. After watching it, I thought about it a lot and felt that it was necessary to write something. There is a scene in the movie where Lavis called Bessie to apologize to her, but Bessie ignored him, so an angry Lavis rushed into Bessie's office and asked her why she ignored him. For this scene, I think many people have a feeling of deja vu. They will definitely encounter this in their life. They were talking and laughing just a moment ago, but suddenly disappeared for some reason, and they are completely strangers. I can fully understand how Lavis felt at the time. In addition to being sad, it should be more angry. From the moment she was asked out of the office, Lavis and her were over.
But what is more positive is that Lavis did not give up on himself, but worked hard to make himself stronger, and successfully saved a girl and got into the newspaper. At the end of the film, there is such a scene, Lavis drives Bessie home, and at the door of the house, Bessie got out of the car, stood by the car and wanted to say something, but didn't say it, and finally just asked how much . Maybe she was waiting for Lavis to get out of the car, and then she wanted to invite him up for a drink or listen to the record Lavis gave her earlier. Kravis just smiled, said goodbye, and drove away. "Goodbye" here should mean never seeing again. Even if there is a goodbye, it's just two passersby, or a taxi driver and a passenger. If Bessie asks how much, Lavis should say $20. , that's all. To Lavis, Bessie was just a passer-by in his life.
You will meet many people in your life, and some people are destined to be just passers-by in life.

Taxi Driver quotes

  • Travis Bickle: I'll tell you why. I think you're a lonely person. I drive by this place a lot and I see you here. I see a lot of people around you. And I see all these phones and all this stuff on your desk. It means nothing. Then when I came inside and I met you, I saw in your eyes and I saw the way you carried yourself that you're not a happy person. And I think you need something. And if you want to call it a friend, you can call it a friend.

    Betsy: Are you gonna be my friend?

    Travis Bickle: Yeah.

  • Travis Bickle: I would say he has quite a few problems. His energy seems to go in the wrong places. When I walked in and I saw you two sitting there, I could just tell by the way you were both relating that there was no connection whatsoever. And I felt when I walked in that there was something between us. There was an impulse that we were both following. So that gave me the right to come in and talk to you. Otherwise I never would have felt that I had the right to talk to you or say anything to you. I never would have had the courage to talk to you. And with him I felt there was nothing and I could sense it. When I walked in, I knew I was right. Did you feel that way?

    Betsy: I wouldn't be here if I didn't.
